Abstract: Weight sensors (42) coupled to the bed (22) of a conventional haulage truck (20) measure the weight applied to each tire strut as the truck is being loaded. Based on the weight applied to each strut, the exact position of the center of gravity (G) of the load (34) in the truck's bed is calculated and displayed on a monitor (44) relative to a target position (C) deemed optimal for uniform weight distribution. Based on this information, the operator of the loading machine can complete the loading operation in such a way as to shift the center of gravity toward the chosen target position. In another embodiment of the invention, an automated algorithm calculates and displays where the next bucket load should be dropped, based on its approximate weight, in order to shift the center of gravity (G) toward the target location (C).

Abstract: Lorsque vient le temps d'installer et de démonter les abris d'auto à l'automne et au printemps, ainsi que tout objet fixé par des écrous papillon vides, un problème survient. Il n'existe aucun outil pouvant s'installer sur une perceuse pour visser et dévisser les écrous papillon vides sur les boulons retenant les morceaux ensemble. Nous devons donc les visser à la main ce qui rend moins efficace la solidité des boulons causant ainsi des risques de démembrement de l'objet lors de mouvement violent. Dans la présente invention l'outil facilite le vissage des écrous vides en s'ajustant parfaitement à la forme des écrous papillon vides diminuant ainsi le temps de vissage. Elle peut-être adaptée aux différents formats de la tige de la perceuse ainsi qu'aux différents formats des écrous vides.
